From an outstanding mother line, Nocturne is the uterine sister of Alligator Fontaine (1988 Noren) Champion of France 1999, a great international performer, winning at La Baule, Hickstead and Dublin and given the highest ever sport index in France (190). Another brother is the French Nations Cup horse Frascator Mail.
